I managed to run 6.75 yesterday with only mild pain in the shins, so they're slowly healing. I also ended up running 30 seconds per mile faster than I normally run that route, so I guess the week off from running actually helped

9 mile hill run after work today - sunny and 82F so it was pretty warm. It was hard going, bu the shin splints did well. It wasn't the best pace in the word at a 10:00 average, but not bad considering I was tired, it was hot, and it was after work.

Thanks for checking in Robert & Karen Doing OK here but my daughter was sick over the weekend and the weather was bad, so... I went 3 days without working out (other than one home yoga session) so I was getting withdrawal symptoms LOL Still, it gave me plenty of time to try new recipes from the Thrive diet - I think the curry chickpea pizza and the buckwheat blueberry pancakes are the favorites so far! I'm also trying to cut out the morning coffee and have green tea instead.

At least my daughter is over the stomach flu now, so she went back to school today, which meant I could go run

10.45 mile hill run in 1 hr 44 minutes, 9:57 overall pace, 1097 calories burned. 52 degrees, sunny, gentle breeze - perfect! I guess the 3 day rest did me good because I felt energetic for the full run. Good job too because I then had to work 1pm to 10pm!

Here's what I ate today (more calories than normal but I was hungry after that run! LOL) :

19.5 mile run yesterday morning, with hill work after mile 7 Did pretty well, used a variety of gel brands, made Brendan Brazier's ginger ale sports drink with coconut water - that was good! Overall pace wasn't great at 10:41 but that's because I took the hills too fast so slowed down on the way back. Had another runner fall in with me on the way up - thought he was going to pass but he just fell in and started to chat, so I ended up running a little faster than I normally would and with chatting, I burned a little more energy than I normally would have, but it was good.

Ate the usual oats with raisins and goji berries before the run, a liter of carbonated water when I got home, a Probar, then a Sun Warrior protein shake with vega wfho.

And then my daughter wanted to go swimming.... ! So I sat at the edge of the pool, feet and legs in the water to soothe them.

We went out for sinner with my mother-in-law - Thai food! So panang curry and a spring roll.

Didn't get to work out yesterday thanks to a 12 hour shift at work. But, I was up early an out running this morning before sunrise. 5.2 miles was all due to the shin splints creeping back in Overall pace was 8:57.
